Ingredients:
2 pears
4 apples
1 teaspoon orange zest (I didn't measure, just guesstimated)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons orange juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
*When using spices, I personally don't measure. I LOVE cinnamon and nutmeg, so I just sprinkle in a lot. Also, a tip when juicing a lemon with your hands: Have the inside facing up, so no seeds sneak out!
Topping:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oatmeal
8 tablespoons COLD, cubed butter
If using spreadable, you may need a bit more. I just checked my Crisp halfway through cooking, and put more butter in spots I could tell needed it.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel, core and cut the pears and apples into large chunks. Place the fruit in a large bowl and add the zests, juices, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix with a spoon until fruit is covered with all ingredients. Pour into pie dish.
For the topping:
First, I wanted to share the type of oats I use. I LOVE them, they're small. And for this container, it's only a $1 at Walmart!
Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is in large crumbles (yes, it will be a bit loose). Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering completely.
Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly.
Serve warm.
